2020 has brought a lot of uncertainty, high tension, anxiety, and stress to most everyone in the world according to the CDC. The impact of COVID-19 has led to record breaking unemployment claims, stay at home orders, states being shut down, travel bans, and so much more. What is being lost in all of this is the need to focus on self-care.

International Self Care Day (ISD) (7/24/2020) was started in 2011 in the UK as a worldwide mission to remind people to step back from the rigors of life and to do something that focuses on bettering one’s self. Moms are being hit especially hard during these times trying to balance working from home, distance learning, running a household, and being a mom. See the link below for more details from a USC study about this. (https://news.usc.edu/171617/covid-19-women-job-losses-childcare-mental-health-usc-study/)

RBF Fitness and Nutrition, in Warwick, empowers busy women and moms to recapture their confidence and self esteem using fitness as the platform. With a uniquely created 7-step methodology, the program has helped thousands of women repair their relationship with themselves and inspire their children to lead healthy lifestyles that will carry over for generations. We believe mothers are the backbone of the household and many times feel lost, overwhelmed, and in some cases, defeated. Our program addresses the daily hurdles mothers face and helps to link the solutions into fitness programs for their mental, physical and emotional well-being.

Obesity in mothers is at an all-time high due to the pandemic in the United States. Becoming overweight and obese are not the only byproducts of a sedentary lifestyle. Obesity, in particular, has been linked to 13 preventable cancers including stomach, kidney, and colon as well as type 2 diabetes, depression, anxiety and many other illnesses as reported by the National Cancer Institute. Our program focus on selfcare, and optimal health – not just getting back into optimal weight.

For ISD 2020 I challenge all of you to do something that you want to do…for you! Whether it’s take a walk, get a mani-pedi, get a massage/facial, hit the gym, get your hair cut, or so many other options, get out there and do something that you’ve wanted to do. When you are looking and feeling your best everyone around you benefits. If you truly want to put your family first, it starts with becoming the best version of yourself. At RBF Fitness, that is the cornerstone of our fitness program. We don’t just build strong bodies, we build strong families.
